Georgia Tech 6, N.C. State 5 (15 innings) – The 2011 ACC Baseball Championship got its first taste of free baseball Thursday night, lots of free baseball, the longest game in the event’s history. After five hours and 488 pitches, Georgia Tech (40-18) outlasted North Carolina State (34-24) 6-5 in 15 tension-packed innings, a classic decided by a most improbable steal of home.

We got this tip from our ever vigilant T.A.H. Worldwide Media Pop Culture Editor Young A.T. who asked the question, “What are YOU doing this weekend?”

Evidently…Diana is swimming 103 miles from Cuba to Key West. Apparently, she has an aversion to the traditional leaky, overcrowded boat approach…

According to Sally Jenkins by way of the Miami Herald and the Washington Post: “It’s an undertaking of untold hazards that is projected to require 60 hours of continuous swimming. In addition to sharks there will be risks from man o’ war jellyfish as well as hypothermia, dehydration and cardio-arrhythmia. But the real danger is the unknown.”

"Just like I have been telling reporters and NBA teams, I feel like I'm the modern-day (Scottie) Pippen. I feel like I can do it all: pass, shoot, dribble, and play defense. I mean, I think I'm the perfect guy in any system you put me in and I'm just ready to take on the challenges."

-- Chris Singleton of Florida State humbly describing his talents while insulting everybody over the age of 30 by using “modern-day” to compare himself to that old, ancient and decrepit Scottie Pippen.

Ryan Harrow will follow in the footsteps of Derrick Rose and John Wall and play point guard for John Calipari.

The former N.C. State guard has announced his plans to transfer to Kentucky. He put the decision on his Twitter account on Wednesday night and also told the recruiting service Scout.com.

At Memphis and Kentucky, Calipari has coached the top point guards in the college game the past couple of years, turning out Rose, the MVP of the NBA this past season, and Wall, the Raleigh product who was the top pick in the 2010 NBA draft.

Harrow, who averaged 9.3 points and 3.3 assists per game for the Wolfpack last season, will have to sit out the 2011-12 season under NCAA rules. He joins a Kentucky program that reached the Final Four in April and is expected to be one of the top teams in the country again this season.

Cementing its reputation as the nation's premier lacrosse conference, the ACC is the first league to send three of its members – 2009 champ Virginia, 2010 champ Duke and Maryland – to the Final Four. The ACC has won 10 national titles since the NCAA Tournament began in 1971.

T.A.H. Worldwide Media Pop Culture Editor Young A.T. recently pointed out an item sub-titled “OOPS” by Max Read over at Gawker. Read points out a small slip up at prestigious Georgetown.Of course, our version of the Hoyas, Duke, would never make such a mistake...

“We're not, obviously, in a great position to criticize the typographical errors of others; on the other hand, we're not an accredited institution of higher learning.”

We would like to echo what Read said, as we too have no room to talk when it comes to typos and the like...but...

Kyle Singler, the former Duke forward, with the help of his friends at Duke Blue Planet, climbed to the top of the Duke Chapel and other campus spots to shoot his second video of trick shots. He even coaxed Mike Krzyzhrw5ski into a cameo role in this one.

The Cavaliers (11-5) led 10-4 at halftime after falling behind 4-1 in the first quarter. Virginia's defense held the Big Red scoreless for 22 minutes, 32 seconds, spanning the first three quarters. Roy Lang ended the drought 3:35 into the third quarter.

"I thought it was just a great lacrosse game," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said. "I thought we shot the ball very well. It's just been a remarkable run these last few weeks and I'm really pleased that we're still playing."

Virginia scored nine unanswered goals, including Bocklet's second and third of the game. His goal 2:55 into the match tied the game at one and pushed his goal-scoring streak to 34 games. He has scored 94 goals in those games.

"They forced us to play from behind the entire time," Cornell coach Ben DeLuca said. "This loss is on my shoulders, squarely."

Steve Mock scored four goals for Cornell (14-3) and Rob Pannell had three.

Virginia goaltender Adam Ghitelman stopped 13 of 22 shots.

Chris Blocket #10 is congratulated by teamates.

"We tried to do the best job we could to get back in the game," Pannell said. "We had a lot of opportunities where we could have scored and I think Adam Ghitelman played great, to his credit. He made a lot of saves. We couldn't get any run going."

North Carolina says the Suits From Indianapolis (Formerly Kansas) or the NCAA, if you like, has made another visit to campus.

Team spokesman Kevin Best confirms investigators returned this week as part of the ongoing investigation into the football program.

ESPN.com, citing anonymous sources, is reporting the NCAA talked to defensive end Quinton Coples about his attendance at a post-NFL draft party earlier this month in Washington also attended by ex-teammates Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn.

Photos of Coples, Austin and Quinn surfaced online. According to the report, the NCAA wants to know how Coples paid for his trip and whether he accepted food or drink.

Coples is considered a top NFL prospect. Austin was kicked off the team and the NCAA ruled Quinn permanently ineligible during its probe into improper benefits and academic misconduct.
